PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT SYNCHRONIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303943 titled 'PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT SYNCHRONIZATION
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method to synchronize the content of a virtual environment with the state of a physical environment by using sensor data, context-specific parameter data, and virtual reality systems.
- Obtaining sensor data from remote sensors measuring the physical state of a location at a specific time.
- Generating context-specific parameter data based on the sensor data.
- Obtaining context data from a remote virtual reality system reflecting the current state of virtual content in a virtual environment.
- Selecting virtual content to be displayed in the virtual environment based on the context-specific parameter data, context data, and rules.
- Sending the selected virtual content to the remote virtual reality system for display to the user, reflecting the state of the physical location at that time.
Key Features and Innovation: - Integration of sensor data from physical environment with virtual reality systems. - Context-specific parameter data generation for content synchronization. - Selection of virtual content based on sensor data and context information.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various fields such as gaming, virtual tours, remote monitoring, and training simulations.
Problems Solved: - Bridging the gap between physical and virtual environments. - Enhancing user experience by synchronizing content with real-world data.
Benefits: - Improved immersion in virtual environments. - Real-time updates based on physical environment changes. - Enhanced user engagement and interaction.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include virtual reality gaming, virtual tourism experiences, remote monitoring systems, and training simulations for various industries.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the user experience in virtual environments? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this synchronization method in different industries?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in this field focuses on enhancing the accuracy and speed of content synchronization in virtual environments, as well as exploring new applications for this technology in various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods synchronize content of a virtual environment with a state of a physical environment. in aspects, a method includes obtaining sensor data from a network of remote sensors measuring a physical state of a location at a time; generating context specific parameter data based on the sensor data; obtaining context data from a remote virtual reality (vr) system, wherein the context data reflects a current state of virtual content in a virtual environment displayed by the remote vr system; selecting virtual content to be displayed in the virtual environment by the remote vr system based on the context specific parameter data, the context data, and rules; and sending the virtual content to the remote vr system to be displayed to a user, wherein the virtual content reflects a state of the physical location at the time.
